        			&quot;From the shocking opening to the very last page, this is the one book I really hated to put down until I was done. It&apos;s so textured . . . I also love that she&apos;s a black, or blackish, girl &#x2013; so often YA does not contain them (or only as peripheral characters) &#x2013; and she is such a fascinating protagonist. I also loved the skilful way Johnson turned us around on some characters. I could not ask for more in a YA novel, to be honest. I&apos;d give it all the awards if I could&quot; (Bim Adewumni, YA Book Prize judge)&quot;A rich and entertaining tale which raises questions and challenges assumptions&quot; (Celia Rees Armadillo)&quot;The book has a lot to say about who we are and the pretences we put on for other people, and also about the limited chances in life that a woman had . . . The historical period comes to life well in the book, although it also has a lot to say that is relevant today.&quot; (Carol Williams readingzone.com)&quot;A well researched, finely written re-imagining of an actual historical figure, The Curious Tale of The Lady Caraboo sheds light on how identity is formed and shaped by the stories we tell about ourselves and the stories, like that of the &#x2018;exotic other&#x2019;, that are projected upon us . . . A great yarn with a beguiling central character&quot; (Peter Kalu, author of SILENT STRIKER)

        			London, 1947 - the hottest summer ever. Everything is still rationed and the city is in ruins. But even though everyone says the war is over it doesn&apos;t feel like that for Godfrey Munro. Why hasn&apos;t his father come home? Why is he in South America? Will he ever come back? In Soho, where Godfrey lives in a cafe with his mother, gangs are making life dangerous and the fascists, defeated in Europe, are on the march again all over London. Is the stranger who turns up on the doorstep really a Nazi war criminal? Why does he think Godfrey&apos;s father is in London? How much do the 43 Group know, and can Godfrey afford to trust them with his life? Godfrey is about to find out exactly what his inheritance means...
